Here are Mueller’s exact words about Flynn’s sentencing… “Given the defendant’s substantial assistance and other considerations set forth below,” he says in the document, “a sentence at the low end of the guideline range — including a sentence that does not impose a term of incarceration — is appropriate and warranted.” [Has Mueller got your attention now. Paul Manafort?]

While it’s not exactly clear from these new documents, which are very heavily redacted, what exactly Flynn gave investigators, it would appear to have been substantial, as Mueller says in the document that Flynn’s assistance has been instrumental to “several ongoing investigations,” including at least one criminal investigation against a person whose name has been redacted. [It’s just a guess, but I think it might rhyme with “Ronald Rump.”]

Like a lot of folks, I was hoping for more. I wanted to know who, exactly, Flynn had provided evidence against, and what information he’d given to investigators. I’m happy, however, knowing that he’s been interviewed 19 times, and that Mueller feels as though his contributions have been helpful not only in his investigation into Russian collusion, but also other ongoing investigations into the criminal activities of the Trump organization… Still, tough, I would have loved to have seen Flynn’s “lock her up”-chanting ass thrown into prison… But, given the choice, I’m OK with letting him go if it means moving the case up the food chain toward Donald Trump, which is pretty clearly what’s happening here.

Here, for those of you who might not remember just how big of an asshole Michael Flynn was back during the 2016 election, is a short video clip.

So, to sum up, we learned this evening that Flynn has been singing like a bird for an entire year, that he’s provided evidence of others on the Trump transition team having been in contact with the Russians, and that there are other cases moving forward, in addition to those being pursued by Mueller and his team, including at least one criminal case. This, as Joe Biden might say, is kind of a big fucking deal. In fact, it’s such a big fucking deal that Donald Trump has yet to even tweet once about it… not even one unhinged post about how “flipping” should be illegal.

update: It’s the next morning, and, uncharacteristically, there’s still not a peep from Donald Trump, who just keeps tweeting away about the possibility of a Chinese trade agreement. Maybe this is why.

Trump has been urging his associates to have “guts” and not cooperate in the Russia probe. But Mueller sent a clear message tonight to current/future witnesses: testify honestly and completely, and you could be spared prison time.

Duh. And everyone with Agent Orange will go down in disgrace and the fascist and their abortion is murder stooges won’t care one bit. They’ll probably get another justice by 2020 and have the Court for years to come. And what are the pussy Dems gonna do about it?

We’re dealing with undemocratic and unAmerican thugs. Armed to the teeth and willing to break every rule, because, abortion is murder. Idiocracy is human nature for some.

Future proves past. Flynn cleared up some of Mueller’s misconceptions and helped out with the real shit Huber is doing. Why did GHWB have to go and die THIS week? Huber was set to testify in public today.

Orange Man will be fine as usual. Think about it: nothing came of any of all the non-issues everyone here got excited about. How many things were really going to be it this time in the past two years? Unlikely Mueller has anything on Trump. You ought to be worried about sealed indictments and Huber.

Huber has not even subpoenaed Carter Page yet. I wouldn’t expect too much. He’s simply tasked with looking over IG Horowitz’s shoulder (remember him?) to see if anything re the FISA memos or the Clinton Foundation (remember Uranium One?) warrants further investigation. Doesn’t sound like much has. If he is going to up-end the deep state and the Clinton’s with that report, he’s being mighty stealth about it.

The Executive Order itself has absolutely nothing to do with changing those eligible for trial by a military court to include civilians. And it applies only to crimes committed only after the effective date of the change (1 January 2019).

HW– Gleefully wrings his hands in anticipation of MM commenters being hauled off to the gulag.

You know, it’s not his fault. He came here and he was really nice and then people were mean to him and so now, they will get what they deserve. He’es a really kind and freedom loving person. MM.com just pushed him to this place.

He’s not an abuser. You are!
He’s not a racist. You are!
He’s not an authoritarian opposed to basic human rights and freedom for all. The Deep State is!
He’s not opposed to promoting the welfare and well being of all children; You are a pedophile or else you are a pedophile enabler!
“I know you are, but what am I?”
“I’m rubber; you are glue, what bounces off me, sticks on you!”

“Derp derp derp derp derp derp!”

“Love me or fear me! (I’m not an abuser)
Believe me or I will slay you (I’m not an abuser)
You made me do it (I’m not an abuser)”

You are the one who said all that shit about me with no reason. Remember, I was tolerant in the extreme. Look in the mirror. You don’t go around trying to poke people in the eye do you? So don’t try it online just about every day and expect no response.

Nothing wrong with slaying suckers with knowledge. You want to call that abusive then go ahead. I say if anyone is abusive here it is you. You declared war on me even when I was pacifistic only because you hate Donald Trump and everything you see as right wing. If you don’t want any problem don’t give me a problem. You know I am willing to speak kindly because I did it for months.

Too bad for you have to run off with your tail between your legs on just about every single point of argument because you never know what you are talking about. Then you resort to shit-flinging. It’s gross and immature and abusive and all that shit YOU say about me.

What would you do if there was voluminous evidence of serious crime by many, many people including your household name politicians and business leaders? You would have to take on the Conspiracy Theorist mantle and try saying it was all a massive lie to get Trump’s opponents.

Pretty sure Huber is not a joke so you better start warming up. Let’s here some more about Pissgate. Come on!

“You are the one who said all that shit about me with no reason. Remember, I was tolerant in the extreme. Look in the mirror. You don’t go around trying to poke people in the eye do you? So don’t try it online just about every day and expect no response.”

“I know you are, but what am I?”
“I’m rubber; you are glue, what bounces off me, sticks on you!”
…
You made me do it (I’m not an abuser)”

I don’t fear Huber’s report. OR IG Horowitz either. Or Michael Flynn’s testimony. It could be a delusion, but it’s based on experience– none of your hyperbolic predictions panned out into much. The boy who cried wolf. Maybe this one is the one. I’ll wait and see. And pay attention– Mostly because your fantasy of an ideal outcome is fascinating to me. It tells me how horrors have happened historically– People thought they were right. People were sure they were right.

The reality is you are so immature you can’t see it is true that your behavior are an extreme example of psychological projection. You see it as childish because that is what you are mentally. In reality it’s true on racism, sexism, abuse…On all those things you are an incredible hypocrite. You lie so bad every day you stink through optical fiber. You get skunked and slink away all the time. You can’t be serious.

There is no denying you chose to ‘be abusive’ to me when I was pacifistic. You even stated you were proud of it. I don’t see how you think you can try to say that. You are the wannabe bully but you can’t do it to me because I am so much stronger than you mentally.

People should be nicer to HW. He has good and important things to say. You are all just angry liberals with nothing to say.

Trump is fighting for our freedom. Mueller and the Democrat corruption cabal will be jailed once and for all along with all the people who voted for them. If you voted Democrat, you are complicit and will be jailed without trial! Believe in Trump and the Republican Party under Trump!
